Concrete and Asphalt Runway Detection in High Resolution Images Using LBP Cascade Classifier

Automatic object recognition in digital satellite images is not a simple task due to several variations present in the capture process and object appearance and pose, consequently, different general purpose techniques have been proposed. In this paper, an approach with LBP boosted cascade classifier for automatic runway detection in high resolution satellite imagery is analyzed. Promising results are obtained with the methodology presented in this work, considering objects with variations of scale, rotation and images obtained by different sensors.
